Crop Phenotyping

• The visible form of an organism is the result of its genotype, environment and complex interaction and is referred to as phenotype. Quick, precise and non-destructive measurement of phenotypic traits has been of key importance in the field of plant breeding and crop production. The image-based non-destructive phenotyping started in early twenty-first century, and these techniques are based on spectra, canopy temperature and visible light. Initially, such approaches were used for phenotyping the plants in a controlled environment, where the influence of the environment could not be considered for phenotypic expression. Hence, the need for the development of high-throughput phenotyping (HTPPs) was realized to get the required information. This chapter provides an overview of advanced phenotyping techniques with special focus on field phenotyping. These techniques have the ability to evaluate multiple traits of interest from mixed populations, monitoring of crop growth and development, and health, and also provide key information on various physiological processes. The range of plant phenotyping techniques starts from phenotyping the whole plant canopy to organ and tissue.
